| 4. | Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you.

Selah. | ||
| 5. | Blessed are those whose strength is in you; who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage. | Happy are they whose resting-place is in your house: they will still be praising you. (Selah.) | Blessed is the man whose strength is in thee; in whose heart are the ways of them. | ||
| 6. | Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs.

| 7. | They go from strength to strength. Everyone of them appears before God in Zion. | Going through the valley of balsam-trees, they make it a place of springs; it is clothed with blessings by the early rain. | They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God. | ||
| 8. | Yahweh, God of Armies, hear my prayer. Listen, God of Jacob. Selah. | They go from strength to strength; every one of them comes before God in Zion. | O LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer: give ear, O God of Jacob. Selah. | ||
| 9. | Behold, God our shield, look at the face of your anointed. | O Lord God of armies, let my prayer come to you: give ear, O God of Jacob. (Selah.) | Behold, O God our shield, and look upon the face of thine anointed. | ||
| 10. | For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. | O God, let your eyes be on him who is our safe cover, and let your heart be turned to your king. | For a day in thy courts is better than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. | ||
| 11. | For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly. | For a day in your house is better than a thousand. It is better to be a door-keeper in the house of my God, than to be living in the tents of sin. | For the LORD God is a sun and shield: the LORD will give grace and glory: no good thing will he withhold from them that walk uprightly. | ||
| 12. | Yahweh of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you. | The Lord God is our sun and our strength: the Lord will give grace and glory: he will not keep back any good thing from those whose ways are upright. | O LORD of hosts, blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. | ||
